The left brain dominance in me...

Last night I attended the TEDx conference at Rutgers. Besides being interesting I also learned a lot and I wanted to revisit the idea of left brain versus right brain.

I've always considered myself (well at least I've been told) that I'm left-brained - I decided to take a quiz online today just to see how dominate that is in me. I love words, planning, making lists, and organizing...

Here are my results...

Facebook and user motivations...

Well I'm nearing the end of my Masters Degree! (wahoo!)

This means that it's time for me to conduct my final research project and get to work on collecting real data to analyze.

The project I'm working on is in regards to Facebook. More specifically how does Facebook use impact our "digital activism" (although I'm much prefer the term "slacktivism")?

You know, those silly little status updates telling you to change your status or profile picture to support a cause or to raise awareness. Are people who are more active on Facebook more likely to participate in such things???

Take my survey - help me out. pass it on to your friends.
Facebook survey!

thank you!
